By Donna Jackson


This is a form of transport used to move critically ill patients to health facilities from scenes of accidents by using helicopters or airplanes. There is a highly trained team of people who provide intensive care of the patients before they reach their destinations. In air ambulance Edmonton, the planes are mounted with the same equipment which ambulances usually have like blood drips, syringes and equipment used to help patients in breathing.

The services have their own merits and demerits and their efficiency rate is high as compared to the same services offered on the road. Road transport can be hectic especially in cases where patients need to be taken in a far destination to get special medication reason behind it is slowness as compared to air. Congestion can be encountered though sirens are used to inform other motorists of the ambulance that is approaching, there are several motorists who are cold-hearted and do not give a way to the ambulances to rush to the hospital.

Another advantage of using air transport is they can move to places where vehicles cannot move including places where there are no roads and the terrain is not suitable for road construction. This helps to transport patients especially soldiers who go in war to protect the peace of war ragged countries. With this merit there is a high level of saving life since there usually is no obstruction in matters of transport.

There is a better chance of saving lives since aircraft medical attention is more efficient than other type of ambulance since good support is given to the patients until they reach the required destination. When this support is given to the patient there are high chances of survival. Chances of medical complications are very minimal hence the number of casualties cannot be that high.

Advantages and disadvantages are part and parcel of every situation. An air ambulance service has several disadvantages which make them less effective. T he disadvantages includes crashing, lack of enough medical experts and equipment used to support the lives of the victims.

Let us have a go into a greater depth of these disadvantages. Plane crush being one of them when air is being used as a form of transport, it claims the life of the medical specialists, the patient who require special medical attention and the pilots; however, it happens in very rare cases. This brings worse casualties as lives are claimed in an effort to save another life.

Lack of adequate trained people who are trained in handling the sick patients is another demerit. When there are enough personnel to cater for the victims there is a high possibility of survival. Inadequate personnel come in handy with lack of adequate equipments which aids the patients to reach the required destinations with enough care which increases the chance of survival; these equipments include breathing machines to help them gasp enough oxygen and so on.

We ought to change with the current world since things do change as time crawls. The level of technology escalates which makes some of the services old fashioned, these include road services. Air services are the new modern way services, despite of their demerits we should embrace them since the advantages they bring along are high.
